Full pit in-ground weighbridges

This fully in-ground weighbridge option is ideal for sites with extreme space restrictions and/or shared weighing and traffic areas. This type of weighbridge is also suitable for sites where vehicles are weighed during loading by forklifts.

Depending on the needs of your application, a full pit in-ground weighbridge can be supplied by Ultrahawke in a multi-deck, twin deck or single deck configuration.

The weighing surface of a fully in-ground weighbridge is completely level with the surrounding ground level, requiring extensive excavation work, effective drainage and slightly more concrete and reinforcing. This means that full pit in-ground weighbridges are the most expensive weighbridge type to construct.

Access to the weighbridge's load cells is included via access holes in the deck itself, or to the side of the deck as part of the foundation design. OHS requirements mean that service personnel must be specially equipped, with a minimum of two present on-site, meaning full-pit weighbridges are typically more costly to service than other weighbridge types.
